190ms is 1/5 of one second. So less then one second. There are 1000 milliseconds in one second.
This was definitely all “bot bought”.
The fastest human can not check out in less then 5 seconds. It’s just impossible.
Please do the math. 100 sold out in 19 seconds. This is 190 msec per coin on average. It may have taken 15 seconds for the first order to actually complete, with the rest finishing within the last 4 seconds. The 30,000 that sold out earlier this year sold out in 12 minutes, if I recall. This averages out to 24 msec per coin, which is the same rate as 100 selling out in 19 seconds with 15 seconds of front-end latency getting the first order completed.
So after 8 days, the two confirmed orders I know of were shipped tonight (Memphis) and CC/PYPL charged. So I was skeptical after the Mint claimed an error in the release of 97 coins at 730 am on 8/5 but looks like they are delivering....

What I don’t get and I let the mint know about it...they already have all of the info they need if you have bought from the mint before. I have an account, you have my card etc...why do I need to fill it out again? Also, once one goes in cart it should be removed from inventory the system they have is a joke

But they've yet to hang up the Sold Out sign. Won't be long I'm sure.
Maybe the announced sale the other day was just a test of their new anti-bot software, and no valid orders were allowed to be placed once the automated attack was confirmed.
Hope so.
I'm not going to celebrate until I get a shipping notice, but if I do actually get one of these mint-created rarities after trying for the last nine months, it will only be because of what I've learned on these Message Boards. So thanks to all the wise heads I've learned from over the years......

Cum. Sales as of 8/16=29,902. Based on the adjustments and known activity, I think +92 released on 8/5 (they say in error) and +107 on 8/13 (announced). Then today more released/confirmed including my niece I told to create an account - since I already purchased mine on 8/5. Theoretically, a few more left............
Today was the first time I used PayPal to pay for my order. Checkout was very fast -- so I'll probably use PayPal in the future for items that have the potential to go quickly...

My only thought since this release is : " How many new collectors has this product created ? , vs. How many more coin dealers (flippers) were born ? ". Hopefully about 29,000 of one or the other.

I doubt it created any collectors. It may have discouraged some new modern bullion collectors though.

My son got into collecting because he got one of these last year. So there ARE some new collectors that we’re brought in. No doubt this one also got some people so upset that they quit collecting. Not sure how this nets out.
I have been assembling the entire set at 70 sans the holy grail of 95 w. I am afraid of the WW2 one coming in the fall. Aftermarket on that if I don’t get one is going to seriously damage the monthly coin budget.

Could this be the last chance? I saw the ADD TO BAG this morning for about 25-30 seconds, but it wouldn't allow me to add anything....it was just frozen. Did anyone here get one this morning??? This may be the end of a long drawn out sell-out.

FYI, the V75 privy mark gold and silver Eagles scheduled for the fall, have already sold out.
they're going to go for moon money in the secondary market. I think the gold could top $5k easily
I’m thinking it might hit $10k.
